I've been married 3 years, how do you make a mrriage work for the better?

Answer 1

You treat your marriage like anything else in your life that's important to you.

You make time for each other.

You're honest & respectful to each other

You each keep yourselves healthy & as attractive as you can

You share the responsibility of the home & children (if there are any)

In other words you both make a committment to do whatever it takes to make it work & make each other happy.

Answer 2

If in 3 years your still asking how to make a marriage for the better then something is wrong, your first year is always rocky and that is because your getting to know each other habits, but after that first year you should be feeling comfortable with each other and the marriage should be doing very well, if not there is trouble in the future. Not to say also that some marriages take longer to get in that zone but well within this period of time you know whether this is the person for you. Talking to each other and not at each other is one good habit to make in a marriage as along with trust. You should be able to trust this other person in your life to make decisions which will benefit both of you not just one, but what I have learned from a failed marriage is talking.

Answer 3

by being the one says 'whats wrong with us is me'
something people today are too proud to say.
by saying only kind, edifying words when you are hurting inside.
by being patient, understanding and generous.
if you're a woman, remember a man still likes a homecooked meal.
by not critizing your spouse in front of others.
never flirt or put others before your spouse.
these are some of the qualities of true love.
marraige is commitment. you have made a decision to love.

Read the book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura. Good info in there! There is also The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriages by the same author. I have not read it but I am sure it is good.

Good luck!

Answer 6

The great secret of successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents and none of the incidents as disasters.

Answer 7

Read the book "HIS NEEDS, HER NEEDS", go to church and pray for your spouse and pray that you become the best person for your spouse to love. Always put the shoe on the other foot to see how you made them feel, but never put the shoe on the other foot to justify how they made you feel. Another good book is the popular " THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE" by Rick Warren. Men love your wives as Jesus loved his church, wives submit yourselves to your husbands.
